Welcome to Murdo, SD!
Why choose Murdo to call home? Murdo is located central South Dakota surrounded by rolling prairies and right off Interstate 90. Conveniently located in the intersection of I-90 and HWY 83 allow for easy travel no matter what direction you plan to go. Murdo may seem like a small drive by town from the interstate, but once you see what our small town has to offer you'll fall in love.
Murdo is home to the Jones County Coyotes including a high school, elementary school (newly built) and Headstart pre-school. It's also home to the Harrold Thune Auditorium which is the hosting spot to the longest running South Dakota basketball tournament every January. Right next to our high school is our community pool and basketball/tennis courts.
Murdo not only has a great school system and activities for kids to enjoy, but is also home to some great businesses. Including Pioneer Auto Show, Murdo Ford, Venard Inc, Farmers Union, Pioneer Country Mart, Drayer Construction, Moore Building, Corky's Auto Supply, Longhorn Salon, Crossroads Coffee, Flowers, and Gifts, West Central Electric Cooperative, Inc., Murdo Family Foods, Ray's Welding, Seymor Cow Care and Weathered Ridge Vet Clinic.
Do you love the outdoors/nature? Make sure to check out Murdo's community park that includes a walking trail around the dam or drive north 5 miles and you'll find the North Dam. The North Dam is the perfect place to enjoy some family fishing, boating or just a place to enjoy the gorgeous rolling prairie. On your way out to the North Dam you'll see the Rolling Prairie's Golf Course which includes 9 holes and a recently renovated clubhouse.
Have family or friends that want to come visit? Murdo has 7 hotels to choose from as well as 5 locally owned and operated restaurants.
Murdo is not only a great place to start a business, but also a great place to raise a family.
